Multipurpose Dining room - Kitchen - Sitting Area. Just sold old dining set and now want to start fresh. Thinking about built-in bookshelves on both sides of the fireplace, settee against wall as seating for dining table, etc.

Thoughts? Opinions? I can't seem to commit on placement, rugs, etc.

Spring Dining Room, Emboldening our dining room with bright orange paint and vivid damask patterns gave fresh life to an old room. As spring blues replace winter reds and flowers take the place of candles, the mood of the room shifts dramatically from cozy hibernation to airy exuberance., Dining Rooms Design

The Mermaid, The focal point in my dining room is the art installation on the feature wall. The Mermaid is a hand painted shower curtain that I bought at a local crafts fair with the intention of framing it. It cost less that $60 and makes a huge impression when you enter my home., Dining Rooms Design

50 shades of grey, Each piece in this room was bought used and repurposed. The Buffet was a vintage piece that has been painted and accented with grey and silver. The China hutch was purchased used and an artist touched up the piece using silver, pewter and cream. She also painted a vine design on the piece.
The mirrored chest was bought used. The Mirror over that piece and lamp is new. The Painting "Lady in White was painted by me 30 years ago. The mirrors and accent pieces are garage sale pieces that I painted silver. The large Snail named Aunty Sue is from my best friend. The Walls are a dark grey. I do intend to add more art work in time. The table is rod iron and glass and was given to me along with the chairs that I painted and recovered in black and white toile. The rug is several shades of grey and is a shag bought at Home Depot. Most items in the china hutch and on the buffet are from Craig's list or garage sales. This room was the living room and I switched rooms since I entertain a lot and needed a larger dining area. The Chandelier was missing pieces so I got it at a discount. I replaced the missing pieces with Christmas decorations from Pier one. I still need to replace one strain of beads. Not sure what to do about window treatments for sliders? Ideas are needed. Thank you
